THE EGOMANIACS !
Every day we have to struggle to get through each day of our life. Even though life is unpredictable we like to be a prophet of our own lives and other people’s lives. But when the prophecy doesn’t come true our ego hurts, and when two such people meet where one is trying to win over another they are known as Egomaniacs!
Chapter one
“I mean it Lee, I swear am not kidding this time around” I muttered into my phone. “You just can’t expect it that way, you know it, and you out of all people know better I can’t come to Korea”.
“Well I know, that you can’t so, guess what?”
“What?” I asked annoyingly.
“I am coming to the States next month….” As soon as I heard those words my heartbeat quickened.
“And I am hoping to meet you” lee said.
I took a deep breath and said “I couldn’t wait”
“Even I couldn’t, but for now I have to go, my director wants me for a shot. Bye take care and I love you”
“I love you too”
I am in love with lee since I was fifteen years old. We both are childhood friends; he was my neighbour before he shifted to South Korea. When he was leaving for Korea he kissed me and professed his love for and we made a pact to be together forever. It was the best day of my life, but things changed a lot after he moved to Korea, we couldn’t talk to each other for days because of our school timings, Lee was very much devoted to his acting classes over there. By the time we could reach for the phone to contact each other we would be exhausted. Therefore, sparing us little time to talk to each other. But the changes did not stop over there, it seemed Lee was over me he did not love me the way I loved him; I sensed that change in him. He was reluctant to break up with me, so I took the initiative and set him free. I thought after breaking up with him, we would go on our own ways, but we became closer than ever we understood that even though we are miles apart, he in Korea and I in America we are connected, and the bond between us is intact. Life seems good this way we talk twice in a month over the phone and still the freshness is not gone.
Now after almost, three and half years apart Lee grew up not only looking handsome and considerate human being but a huge star in South Korea. I keep weekly tabs on his drama, movies and dating list. All of my college girlfriends have a huge crush on him. And if you ask me, I am still not over him because I still loved him the way when I was fifteen. It is impossible for me to look at some other guy, the way I look at lee. This year lee is finally coming to The States, for his movie promotion. I can’t wait any longer for December to come. But I have to.

I woke up, at five thirty in the morning, this is my everyday schedule. I am going to pursue acting as my career. So every day I have to reach for my college at seven sharp. I study in the most prestigious college in the country and how hard I worked to earn my spot is something only I know. I rush to the bathroom take a quick shower, dress up quickly and head to the door. I check the time, it was six fifteen. I hurriedly reach to the door, skipping my breakfast. Yes, I am dieting
As I open the door, I could spot Scarlett in her Audi convertible. Scarlett and I are bestfriends. She drops me to college every day.
“Shit, bitch I waited fifteen minutes for you.” Scarlett retorted.
“Yea, Yea.. “
“Where is your family? I didn’t see your mom rushing after you to have breakfast”
